US provides new Consulate General facility in Surabaya
U.S. Ambassador to Indonesia, Scot Marciel dedicated the new Consulate General facility in Surabaya today, celebrating the country’s deepening commitment to the comprehensive partnership between the United States and Indonesia.
Governor of East Java, Dr. H. Soekarwo; Acting Director General of America and Europe Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. M. Wahid Supriyadi; Consul General, Kristen Bauer; and Director of the Office of Design and Engineering of the Bureau of Overseas
Buildings Operations (OBO), William Miner participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Occupying a six-acre site in the Citra Raya development, the new facility serves as an important platform for U.S. diplomacy in Indonesia and throughout the region and creates a secure, state-of-the-art, environmentally-sustainable
workplace for approximately 200 employees.
The Consulate General provides improved facilities to serve both U.S. and Indonesian citizens, such as a more comfortable consular area for visa services and American citizen services and an Information Resources Center where information
and programs on the United States will be available.
The compound incorporates numerous sustainable features, most notably a storm water management system designed to capture downpours and slowly discharge the water to the city so that flooding is minimized; the use of drip irrigation
and recycled wastewater; and a wastewater treatment plant.
